What is causing this and how can I fix it?
What is in /boot/grub/devices.map ? Is /dev/sdb listed there as hd0?

I'm gonna' say "no."
Did I mention that the upgrade process bombed when it came time to
install the boot loader and I had to patch it manually??
I guess I can use my 10.0 "device.map" file as a pattern for creating
one for the 10.3 system?
-==--==--=device.map{=--==--==-
(hd1) /dev/sdd
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd3) /dev/sda
(hd2) /dev/sdc
(hd0) /dev/sdb
-==--==--=}device.map=--==--==-
Not that I'm afraid of editing "device.map" myself (I've been fixing /
munging "menu.lst"), but is there a way using the openSUSE
administrative tools to repair such damage?
Can you file a bug report for this? The important bit is that device.map
is empty and perl-Bootloader isn't coming up with a sane default.
Actually, two bug reports. One against the installation component, and
the other against the kernel component. It's not a kernel bug, but part
of the process. I'll route it through to the perl-Bootloader maintainer.

Glad to see this is finally getting some attention. I put this to the list
when 10.3 first came out (IIRC) and I upgraded my computer but I didn't get a
response and have been manually fixing menu.lst. This morning having done
the kernel upgrade, I've had to edit menu.lst again. I was thinking that I
was the only person in the world with this problem. :-(
